  • kyatric did this awhile ago I guess it is a great place to start.

  • Use functions:

    And don't use every tick not for something like this.

    here is really simple capx. Of course when you add 1 to variable "roundnumber" then you run the function.

  • how to use a speed variable???

    variable speed = 10

    Every x seconds set variable speed to speed + whatever

    every tick: scroll to x: scrollx + ([variable speed] * dt)

  • There are a number on the internet.

    The author of one that comes to mind offered it free here on the forum on amazon.

    It was called : So you want to be a game designer!: A balanced book of practice and theory.

    There are more all over the net, but remember that books get dated quickly.

  • > The entire adobe suite: photoshop to after effects.

    >

    It gets pretty expensive then though! Photoshop+lightroom alone cost approx 12€ a month here. That's 60€ for the whole suite (jeez I want to use flash sooo bad!).

    The subscription plan is pretty affordable if you are making money from your business. Write it off against expenses.

    Buying the products outright is very expensive.

    You can also rent on a month by month, so if you need xyz, and for 2 months, then you can budget that cost into your quote.

  • There are so many ways to do this...

    Simplest way is to create variable called pause.

    Pause button toggles variable as 1 or 0

    On each button you want to lock place a condition pause = 0 (which means unpaused)

    I've attached a very overly complicated capx. I say overly complicated because I am using an number of tools to stretch your thinking.

    Black button is the lock/unlock button

  • The entire adobe suite: photoshop to after effects.

  • The loading time is the downloading of the game - more specifically the game assets (images/audio).

    The good news is that once downloaded it doesn't have to be downloaded again / unless the game is updated.

    The only real solution would be to use external image files:

    Here is what ashley has to say... 5 sec google

    [quote:19cd54rg]Using external image files

    If your project has a lot of large detailed images which add a lot to the download size, you can make your game load quicker by adding them as project files instead. That way they won't need to be downloaded before the game starts running. You can then load them at runtime using Sprite or Tiled Background's Load image from URL actions - just enter the name of the image as the URL, e.g. "mylargeimage.jpg". You know they've loaded when the On image URL loaded trigger fires as well. This means you can request large images on the start of each layout that needs them, and show some kind of "Please wait..." message until they've loaded.

    I suggest you read the manual and tutorial section as this is covered in both and use google as the forum has multiple topics on this.

  • Ashley,

    Took 10 days off so haven't actually used r174 that much, however the few hours of work I did before taking family away had zero caching issues. So I believe the issue was resolved with r174.

    I should be full steam ahead tomorrow so will bump if I spot it again. But for now this is resolved.

    Thanks for sorting this out.
